i´m using oracle 11..1.0.6.0.
I have a partitioned tabled with three asociated indexes (one is a unique index simulating a PK) also partitioned.
user_tab_partitions & user_ind_partitions are well provisioned.

I drop the partitioned table and the asociated entries in user_tab_partitions & user_ind_partitions are not also dropped. Those entries are renamed and they exist in the tables as "garbage".

I think oracle 9i didn´t work in that way. In oracle 9i the entries in user_tab_partitions & user_ind_partitions where also dropped. ¿is that ok in oracle11? ¿i´m doing something wrong? ¿is a new behaviour in oracle 11?¿can i drop that entries from the tables?
